Info-Boy! a play by Albert Fried-Cassorla --

Readings at the Hedgerow Theatre, May 6 & 8, 2002

Info-Boy! actors did a great job. The rainbow-hued glasses shown are part of the show -- and actors and audience alike wear them and participate. The Hedgerow takes its readings seriously, even in an evening of serious fun! Shows above are (l. to r. top) Zoran Kovcic, who played Phil, the main character; Tom, who played Jerry, a neophyte infomercial-maker; Kasey Yarnall (with darker hair), who acted as Kari, Phil's demanding daughter; and Hattie Wesleyk, who played Stephanie, the sexy co-host of the show and Phil's amour and co-producer. Not shown is James Cries, who did a fine job as Japanese businessman Jerry Tsai. "Look Japansese, " Zoran requested. James complied!

Info-audience gets its world-view shifted! Whoa! These glasses alter reality during the show, physically and philosophically.

...To really get in the mood for this show, you'll have to elanr the Cool Bluesblockers song. But be warned!I am told that this is an infectious tune. As in "call the CDC." Can't get it out of your head. What kind of monster have I spawned??
